Warm maple dressing slightly wilts the spinach in this salad, giving it a delightful texture and flavor. Sally writes, âThis is quick and easy to make, plus it's healthy and very tasty!â Sally Maloney - Dallas, Georgia Ingredients:
1/4 cup maple syrup |
3 tablespoons cider vinegar |
1 tablespoon olive oil |
1 tablespoon dijon mustard |
1/4 teaspoon salt |
1/4 teaspoon coarsely ground pepper |
1 can (15-1/2 ounces) great northern beans, rinsed and drained |
2 packages (6 ounces each) fresh baby spinach |
4 green onions, thinly sliced |
1 small sweet red pepper, chopped |
5 bacon strips, cooked and crumbled |
Directions:
1. For dressing, in a small microwave-safe bowl, combine the first six ingredients; set aside. Place beans in another microwave-safe bowl. Microwave, uncovered, for 1-2 minutes or until heated through.
2. In a large salad bowl, combine the spinach, onions, red pepper, bacon and beans. Microwave the dressing, uncovered, for 30-60 seconds or until heated through. Whisk until smooth; drizzle over salad and toss to coat. Yield: 11 servings.
